The New Enslaved Album

[omocron]

So I just got the new Enslaved album, Axioma Ethica Odini. It's pretty awesome. The opening track is amazing. The Beacon and Nightsight are the two songs that I love off the album.

Just wondering if anyone else on here got it and if you did, what did you think of it?

Absolutely fucking stellar album from start to finish. I was worried that they would have trouble topping Vertebrae (2008) but they truly went above and beyond in terms of sound, style, and song writing. Enslaved are truly masters of the progressive sound they have been exploring since 2003's Below The Lights and are not afraid to explore the softer elements of progressive rock and mix it with their black metal origins. It makes me happy to see that it kicked The National's High Violet (2010) from the nuraber 1 spot on RYM for highest rated album of 2010 with only 115 votes compared to 2,565.

Enslaved is just soooo fricken good. Few band are able to tie together as many different musical strains as seamlessly as these dudes. "Axioma Ethica Odini":thurab: Anybody that likes Yes and Mastodon neeRAB to here this!

Really? Guess I'll have to give this a spin.

Dude. It's totally worth the buy...or download. whatever you prefer, but the point is: The album ****ing rules.

You guys are right, this album's blowing my mind so far. Never listened to Enslaved before but I'm glad I did.

Go for it anyway. "Night Sight" reminRAB me of Yes, but you should like the next song "Lightning" which shows Enslaved has definitely been spinning Crack the Skye. This is also their heaviest record since Mardraum.

Go back and start with their 2003 album Below the Lights and work your way up from there. After that you can go and work your way back through their discography, working backwarRAB starting with their 2000 album Mardraum – Beyond the Within.

Excellent album from one of the top metal banRAB; easily my favourite among the stuff I've heard this year. Lightening, Night Sight, Ethica Odini all own... the only weak part is the 2 min interlude Axioma.

[PixieDust]

I take it they're one of those "gets better with every release" type of banRAB?
